Hello, I find that I learn easier when I go from specific examples to a more general explanation of function's utility and I made a reference guide that will eventually document all functions, classes and methods in Python's Standard Library. For now, I covered about 20 most important modules. I will be adding more modules and eventually I'll cover everything. Here's my progress so far, let me know if this is useful; I'll be glad to hear comments/suggestions/etc:
